“Everywhere He Goes”
January 20th, 2022
What a compliment it is to hear future a Hall of Fame wide receiver barking to the nation that the Rams need to wake up and take Mike Evans out of Sunday’s game.
Yeah, Evans is that good and Rams legend Torry Holt knows it.
Joe listened to Holt on Rams House Radio on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week. He is not in favor of the Rams playing a lot of zone defense against Evans and moving stud cornerback Jalen Ramsey around the field.
No, Holt was sending a message to Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris that he must blanket the greatest receiver in Buccaneers history.
“If I’m Raheem, I’m thinking about having Jalen travel with Mike Evans everywhere he goes. Everywhere he goes,” Holt said. “… This is Mike Evans now. You gotta press him and make it difficult for him.”
Holt, from a Rams perspective, is concerned about the Bucs’ precision short passing game and former Rams linebacker London Fletcher had the same concern. Neither is confident the Rams will pressure Brady enough to stop it.
The hope from the Rams alumni is that Los Angeles can copy the Saints’ model of a balanced and consistent pass rush against the Bucs — with enough pressing “dogs” for defensive backs to be effective.

I’d feel a LOT better if Tristan Wirfs was playing. He hasn’t been ruled out yet, but let’s be real. He ain’t playing.

Not sure what Morris is doing with Ramsey, not sure why that guy isn’t on the #1 every week. Rams D is overrated considering the talent they have. Bucs win 31-24
January 20th, 2022 at 6:26 pm
I think Evans is too big, and too good to cover with just one person. I expect the Rams to double him Sunday.
January 20th, 2022 at 6:35 pm
Brady is not happy coaches are interviewing instead of game planning imo. Union not looking out for players that want to win at all costs. Brady needs to run the players union when he retires.
January 20th, 2022 at 6:35 pm
This is a payback game for Gronk.
January 20th, 2022 at 6:41 pm
Time to embarrass Ramsay.
January 20th, 2022 at 7:06 pm
We’re gonna win this game.
January 20th, 2022 at 7:08 pm
I think the best thing about this is that Ramsey is the only guy that has a chance to cover Evans and Gronk 1 on 1. That means you have to double whoever Ramsey doesn’t cover. That will allow backs, brate and Tyler/perriman to have a game.
January 20th, 2022 at 7:26 pm
Ramsey shut him down last game. Why wouldn’t they do the same again?
January 20th, 2022 at 7:28 pm
Hope we score 50
I’m tired of everyone with the Rams
January 20th, 2022 at 7:28 pm
Rewatching the game vs the Rams in week three it appears neither JPP or J Whitehead played in that game. On offense AB didn’t play & Gronk & J Dean went out early with injuries. We owe Floyd a big big hit.
January 20th, 2022 at 7:45 pm
Correct that. Whitehead played but SMB didn’t.
January 20th, 2022 at 7:54 pm
Ramsey is very good.
But I’m guessing Big Mike will still get the better of him on a few plays – even if 13 does get “shadowed” all game by their best CB…..
January 20th, 2022 at 8:02 pm
I just wanna win by any means payback for 1999
January 20th, 2022 at 8:18 pm
Lokogs, & 1979!
January 20th, 2022 at 8:20 pm
Look for lots of PIs against the Rams this game AND that being their excuse as to why they get beat.
January 20th, 2022 at 8:21 pm
I wasn’t even swimming in my dads testicles in 1979 I’m a 1985 baby. What happend in 1979? I need to be schooled

In our fourth year of existence after the worst beginning in history our defense carried us all the way to the NFC championship game where we lost to the Rams. 9-0.
January 20th, 2022 at 8:31 pm
We have this as long as playoff lenny is ready to go.
Screens all day from the pass rush.
January 20th, 2022 at 8:32 pm
It was LB Terrell Lewis #52 that injured Gronk in that game.
January 20th, 2022 at 8:51 pm
It’s been done before , the names behind the starters lost to injury or mental illness are going to have to make big play after big play.
January 20th, 2022 at 8:52 pm
Man, twice in the playoffs against the rams I hate them even more now we have to beat them

Listnfrmafar:
Ramsey did not shut ME13 down last game. ME13 had 8 for 106 yards. What makes you think it will be any different this time?
January 20th, 2022 at 9:09 pm
If you get Mike in motion it’s easier for him to avoid the press.
Boron – listen up! If you’re not too busy with your interview schedule that is.
January 20th, 2022 at 9:22 pm
👍🏾 Swamp, get him in the slot and in motion.
Scotty needs to be in the slot also.
All quiet on Jon Brown front( nothing in the media)
I like that👊🏾
January 20th, 2022 at 9:24 pm
Rams always gives me worries.
Those games has always been epic.
January 20th, 2022 at 10:13 pm
Defense has to play well to have any chance and other players have to step up on offense.
January 20th, 2022 at 10:39 pm
The key to us winning is scoring more points than the Rams,,lol captain obvious

Daryl Green — spot on and BTW, get yourself some pads and a helmet and get out there — we need you to help guard Cooper Kupp!

We had a monster defense during that time but we never had an offense. They played lights out during that game. Doug Williams was the offense but he got hurt. He was hounded n harassed by the Youngblood brothers. We had receivers that were regulars on nfl bloopers n they couldn’t catch a cold. Years later Kevin House became the first sure handed consistent Buc’s receiver. In 1979, our OL n receivers were 2nd to none.

see brate vs washington in last years playoff match up…
more of that is needed sunday
January 21st, 2022 at 1:26 am
one guy is definitely going to have to step up out of the receiver group besides evans and gronk…

Man I wish Wirfs was healthy !!!
Since he’s not, I do agree they won’t get pressure to stop the short passes. Brady is too good at it. I am not sure if he’ll have time beyond a medium pass though. I don’t think the Rams are as good at tight press coverage.
January 21st, 2022 at 5:51 am
@List if you call 8 receptions for 106 yds shutting Evans down then he might have 150 and 3 TDs this game.
January 21st, 2022 at 6:41 am
The only guy I see who chokes more than Qaaron Rodgers is Aaron Donald. Maybe it’s an A-A-Ron thing?
January 21st, 2022 at 7:45 am
Rams have added to Von Miller to an already good D Line. Our O line is going to have their hands full. Brady will need a little extra time for him to find enough open targets downfield occasionally. It will be difficult to win if Brady is forced to just rely on the short passing game. If that happens hopefully GIO or Bell can
add a little wiggle to our offense.
January 21st, 2022 at 7:49 am
In games like this, it always seems to come down to what no one is talking about: In this case, it’s the Bucaneers defense against the Rams offense. If the D brings it, they’ll shut the Rams O down and give the Bucs a fighting chance. Without a good showing by the defense it’ll be tough sledding for this injury-riddled Buccaneer offense. The defense has to play inspired football though, like they did in last years playoff run. The D is healthy for the most part, thank goodness, and they’re capable. Let’s go!!!!

Navarre, all in garbage time.
January 21st, 2022 at 4:53 pm
Francisco why do you keep repeating the same tired dribble post after post??? It’s so asinine. I mean who doesn’t know the entire team has to play lights out to win? It’s the playoffs! Duuuihhh! You mean to tell me even though we have the same record and they got embarrassed in some games as we did yet you think they’re so much better than us? We have a better qb who is the GOAT and you have no confidence in him and the coaches? You act as if we’re paper mache champions and can’t beat a legitimate team even though we have. If you don’t believe in the Bucs I hope you don’t watch the game.
Idaho we don’t talk about it because we’re all aware that this defense has given up 27 or more to them in the last 3 games. We all know what the Bucs need to do in order to win but you bet your bottom dollar the coaches and players know too.
We need to have some faith in the boys because they’re not playing the Saints defense and the defense came out last week and crushed the Philthy Eagles
January 22nd, 2022 at 1:51 am
“Philthy” Eagles….Haha! Nice one!
January 22nd, 2022 at 7:13 pm
